In this podcast, Dr. Berg talks about the difference between fasting and starvation. Fasting is when you deplete the glycogen reserves (stored sugar in the liver and the muscles) while starvation, you already depleted your glycogen and not you are depleting the fat reserves, the muscles and the organs are breaking down and you are using that as fuel. Fasting is healthy because it is where you repair and starving is where you break your body down and also depleting all the nutrients.
Fasting:
• Depleting Glycogen Reserves
• Running on Fat
• No Hunger
• Feels Good
Starvation:
• Depleting Fat Reserves
• Running on Muscle and Organs
• Intense Hunger
• Feels Bad

| 0:29.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So I had a question for someone that wanted to know what is the difference between fasting and starvation. |
| 0:50.0 | Okay. fasting is where you deplete your glycogen reserves. |
| 0:55.0 | That's the stored sugar in the liver and the muscles, okay? |
| 0:58.8 | And you're running on fat fuel. |
| 1:01.0 | You have no hunger and you feel great, okay? That's what happens when you're |
| 1:06.0 | fasting. When you're starving, you're already depleted your glycogen and now you're |
| 1:10.6 | depleting your fat reserves and you're running on your muscles and your organs. |
| 1:15.2 | So your muscles and organs are breaking down and you're using that as fuel. |

| 1:33.0 | And of course you're also depleting all your nutrients with this as well. |
| 1:36.0 | Here you're running on your reserve nutrients. |
| 1:39.0 | Now sometimes people feel bad and they have intense hunger and they're not really starving because the cells have insulin resistance and that's something completely different and their bodies are running on sugar fuel so unless they eat they're |
| 1:55.9 | not going to feel very good but when you actually switch over to fat burning |
| 2:01.5 | doing fasting and healthy keto, you don't get this intense hunger. |
| 2:06.8 | You feel actually really, really good. |
